"Xi Ying I leave this to you" Lory patted yang Xi Ying shoulder.

Yang Xi Ying startled "Why me?" she points herself with grief.

​​

"She is nicer to you"

"But you are her aunt!" Yang Xi Ying refuses to face Ming Yue Yin right now.

"The tittle I accept reluctantly" she refutes.

"Nonetheless, you accept it anyway, so go face your niece!" she gives Lory a warning look.

Lory feel helpless while Liangzu ship is getting closer and Ming Yue Yin menacing pose become clearer, Lory feel her heart is sunk, she turns to Jin Hao desperately "How fast this ship could run?"

"Not fast enough to run from her" Jin Hao calmly said, is a matter of persistence, Ming Yue Yin would chasse no matter how far they go so why bother.

"Come on Lory, she like a family and you can't run from your family~" Bei li Yan poked Lory's head.

"Yeah, especially from the crazy one…" Jin Hao twitches his mouth when he see Ming Yue Yin make a pose like an angry general who is ready to fight.

"Your majesty, should you act like this? What if they thought you try to attack them?" Su Yi perplexed watching her great empress make a hostile pose while clenching her swords.

"I think her majesty looks great!" Su Jing clapped her hands like a crazy fangirl.

"The girl on the center looks odd?" Su Feng tilted her head but the girl she mentions suddenly cover herself with a cloak and lift the hood so she can't see her face again. Su Feng pushed that thought behind her back, it doesn't matter she would know who is that woman anyway.

on the other hand, Ming Yue Yin grin widely "So, she has not disguised herself anymore, that…interesting, and I'm the last one to know" her face darkens, who knows how much she missed out, just remember she had been trapped inside the palace with official matters and watching old official schemed to each other she can't help feel annoyed, why everyone wanted to be Emperor and empress, do they not know that is the most arduous not to mention boring jobs ever!

Ming Yue Ying raised her hands then shouted "March forward, FULL SAIL!"

___________________________

Lory and yang Xi Ying sigh heavily, they could imagine how much earful Ming Yue Yin would give to them. Li Mo Zhen stroke Yang Xi Ying head dotingly "just treat this as a practice before we have a real daughter" he coaxed her but his eyes are obviously teased her.

"We are going to have a daughter like Yue Yin?" she looks at her husband in doubt. Li Mo Zhen silent he thought he is a quiet man and Yang Xi Ying is very gentle and demure, would they have an unruly daughter like Ming Yue Yin?

"If that happens, I might not visit your home too often…" Lory jokingly said.

The bridge between the ship is connected, Ming Yue Yin enters Hei Shen ship alone, she orders everyone to stay. Her heavy stomp make Lory and Yang Xi Ying nervous because they know that they would be scolded the most. Ming Yue Yin halted her steps, she glares at Lory furiously.

Lory pull down her hoody, she opens her arms and exaggerates smile "BRATTTYY!~"

Ming Yue Yin wanted to make things hard for Lory and the others a little bit more but when she saw Lory real face something thug inside her heart and whatever disgruntled inside of her instantly melt. See Lory like this remind her with her vivid dream, in her dream she saw a dauntless Princess with a silver staff and giant white wings behind her back, she looks like a goddess of war.

Lory might acted goofy sometimes and crack a joke here and there however Ming Yue Yin had seen the other side of her not as Lory but as Princess Lorient of Harland, she is charismatic, smart, decisive, and fearless, she handles every state matters with profound attitude, she was very calmed and wise when make decision, too bad the dream only shows a bit about Lory past if not she would learn more about Lory still she idolized and admired Lory very much.

"I miss you brat!" Lory gives her a big hugged.

Ming Yue Yin puffed her cheeks "How can you leave without telling me, you even bring Xi Ying with you, how can both of you leave me behind, I feel so alone, I feel like a concubine sent in a cold palace…" she grumbling incessantly feeling so wrong and hurt.

'Whose concubine are you, I thought you are empress?'

Lory and Yang Xi Ying make the same perplexed expression.

"That because we thought you are busy with the kingdom matters" Yang Xi Ying join n coaxing the upset Empress.

"Yes, I heard the development of the Liangzu kingdom advancing, we don't want to bother you" Lory chimed in.

Ming Yue Yin scoffed angrily "That's not Important!" she brushed it off.

"..."

"…..."

'Is not?' Yang Xi Ying wants to cry for her father and other officials. Lory who also has a high sense of duty as royalty also feel headache listening to Ming Yue Yin careless words.

"The important thing is, both of you having fun without inviting me, that is very….very…." her eyes ran left and right as she tries to find the right words then she suddenly struck bt epiphany and glare at Lory and yang Xi Ying "VERY RUDE!" Ming Yue Yin looks proud after she said it.

"....."

Lory sigh 'Is that's all you got?'

"I'm sorry to be rude" Lory bow her head as she obviously teased Ming Yue Yin chosen words.

"I'm sorry to be rude, but please tell me you don't come here without notice" Yang Xi Ying massaged her forehead.

"I came here without notice!" Ming Yue Yin puffs her cheeks and put her hands on her hips arrogantly.

"WHAAATT!" Yang Xi Ying becomes furious she pinch Ming Yue Yin cheek.

"Ouch, Xi Ying it's hurt!"

"You naughty brat, what have you done?!" Lory pulls her ears in anger. What an irresponsible empress!

"'Ouch, ouch, I leave a note! I leave a note to old Zhang! Everything will be fine, trust me!" Ming Yue Yin grimaces in pain, luckily all her subordinated is on another ship so no one saw their Great empress is being bullied.

"Trust you my ass!" Lory berated her.

"You will give old master Zhang heart attack, do you know he is eighty-five this year!" Yang Xi Ying also scolded her, she feel bad for the old grand tutor Zhang Yu Hao.

"Ouch, my ear, my cheek!" Ming Yue Yin cried, her ear and cheek are assault by her friends, but she can't do anything because she does feel slightly guilty for the old man for running away.....well, only slightly.

While both of them scolded the grand empress, the others only laugh it out and shakes their head, it becomes common appearance whenever the three girls gathers, they might have different background and personality but they are closer than normal siblings.

Finally, Ming Yue Yin send her ship back to Liangzu kingdom because there are sensitive matters involving Lory so Ming Yue Yin thought is better to let fewer people know about it, at first Ming Yue Yin subordinated is refused to let their Empress left on their own but after Ming Yue Yin place her decree no one dares to refuted anymore, and to help to eased Liangzu soldiers and general burden Lory promised them that Hei Shen Sect will guarantee Ming Yue Yin safety, Lory words are confirmed by Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan as the two king palace so Liangzu people eventually reassured with their Empress safety.

With two king palace and Long Ming what could happen to their Empress and also Ming Yue Yin is protected by her personal hidden guard so they are assured that no one would blame them if they left the Empress.

And so dozens of Liangzu naval sail away, Lory takes off her mask and cloak, immediately Ming Yue Yin personal guards shocked as they look at Lory with a bewildered expression, Lory only gives them wry smiles before she strode to the coach. Ming Yue Ying raised her eyebrow to her subordinates "Do you have a problem?"

The warning tone from Ming Yue Yin startled them, they immediately cupped their fist courteously "No, we have no problem your majesty!" they shook their head profusely. Ming Yue Yin usually relaxed and have a carefree attitude but once she got angry, even the toughest general would be drenched in sweat.
